Meng Zhang didn't know that not even his fellow disciples in Shuangfeng Valley knew that Xiao Shenqiang had the Horcrux on him.
Of course, even if the Shuangfenggu monk knew about this. After being refined with his soul and hidden with soul skills, Xiao Haisheng, even a master in the late stage of foundation building, was unable to carefully examine everyone's soul to find this Horcrux.
Meng Zhang and Tian Zhen were about to leave when they were stopped by another Shuangfenggu disciple.
It turned out that this disciple was announcing the reward for Meng Zhang.
Because he found the sand monster's lair first, the Taiyi Sect did not have to pay tribute to Shuangfeng Valley for the next three years.
The offerings here only refer to regular offerings. If Taiyi Sect has new financial resources in the past three years, such as mining minerals, the portion that should be paid will still have to be paid.
Meng Zhang didn't expect that after so many things happened, Shuangfenggu still didn't waste his reward.
Thinking about it, Shuangfenggu is one of the most powerful sects in this area. They have a big family and a big business, so they don't have to ruin their reputation for such a trivial spiritual stone.
Meng Zhang received the reward, and this trip was not in vain.
Because of the murder of Xiao Shenqiang, all the monks from the vassal forces left in a hurry, fearing that they would be angered by Shuangfenggu.
Meng Zhang and Tian Zhen also rode on Chasing the Wind Horse and embarked on their return journey.
Meng Zhang was in a good mood, not just because he had harvested a rare Horcrux.
In addition, it is also a good thing that the monks of the Zhao family are unlucky.
Originally, Zhao Yanbei brought the elite members of the family to flatter Shuangfenggu. But they never imagined that because of Meng Zhang's unintentional actions, their group would be angered by Shuangfenggu.
The head of the Zhao family and the elites of the family are not allowed to escape. The remaining monks of the Zhao family should have no time to continue causing trouble for the Taiyi Sect.
Taiyi Sect temporarily lost a powerful enemy and could live without external pressure for three years.
"Although Fang Yong performed poorly in this battle, it's a pity that he is gone like this." Tian Zhen sighed on the way.
Meng Zhang did not tell Tian Zhen that Fang Yong was an undercover agent of the Zhao family. It’s just that Fang Yong was unlucky and died among the sand monsters.
Even though Fang Yong had all kinds of problems before him, he was already dead, and Meng Zhang had no intention of ruining his posthumous reputation.
The most important thing is that there is a traitor in the Taiyi Sect again. This will bring bad reputation to the Taiyi Sect, and Meng Zhang, the leader, will not feel proud of it.
Meng Zhang and Tianzhen did not go back to Taiyi Gate directly, but went to Sweet Water Oasis first.
Fang Yong still has relatives in Tianshui Oasis, and most of the disciples of Taiyi Sect are related to each other. When Fang Yong dies, his family must be notified due to emotions and reasons.
Originally, Tian Zhen, the general affairs elder, was solely responsible for these matters, but anyway, Meng Zhang didn't mind taking an extra trip.
When the two arrived at Tianshui Oasis and Tian Zhen went to comfort Fang Yong's relatives, Li Baofu, an old disciple of Taiyi Sect stationed here, secretly came to Meng Zhang.
He sneakily took Meng Zhang to an uninhabited corner, looked around for a long time, and then said mysteriously: "Master, our Sweetwater Oasis may have found a treasure."
"Baby, what baby?" Meng Zhang also became interested.
So, Li Baofu explained it in detail.
It turns out that the Sweet Water Oasis got its name because there are three sweet water wells in the center of the oasis.
The water from these three sweet water wells is clear and translucent, and is cool and sweet. It has a special taste after entering the mouth.
All along, these three sweet water wells have been carefully protected, and only a small amount of well water is pumped out every day for the enjoyment of a few upper-class people in the sweet water oasis.
Several old disciples of the Taiyi Sect, including Li Baofu, are naturally the highest-ranking figures in Tianshui Oasis.
About ten days ago, they discovered that the water drawn from the sweet water well contained a trace of spiritual energy.
Drinking the well water containing spiritual energy would have a much better effect than absorbing the scattered spiritual energy in the oasis.
Therefore, these well-informed old people judged that some spiritual creature from heaven and earth should have appeared in the sweet water well, and the spiritual energy had contaminated the well water.
These old disciples are too poor in cultivation, they are old, and they no longer have the ability to explore the bottom of the well.
These old disciples, who had no hope of further progress, were still loyal to the sect and immediately informed the sect of the news.
After Meng Zhang and Tianzhen responded to Shuangfenggu's call to attack the sand monster, the Taiyi Sect had only Qingling Lao Dao, the only mid-stage Qi refining master.
In order to prevent accidents, he needs to stay in the sect and cannot leave easily.
As a result, this matter was delayed until Meng Zhang and Tian Zhen returned.
After listening to Li Baofu's story, Meng Zhang and Li Baofu went directly to the three sweet water wells without waiting for Tian Zhen.
The three sweet water wells are not too far apart, within a hundred feet in radius, and are arranged in a Z-shaped pattern.
Since they felt that heaven and earth spiritual beings appeared in the sweet water wells, the old disciples of Taiyi Sect in the sweet water oasis took turns guarding the three sweet water wells to prevent others from approaching.
Meng Zhang first greeted these seniors, and then each fetched a bucket of well water from three sweet water wells.
These three buckets of well water all contain a small amount of spiritual energy.
It was nothing to Meng Zhang, but to these old disciples who lacked spiritual energy, it was a rare and great supplement.
Sweetwater Oasis has been ruled by the Taiyi Sect for so many years, and I have never heard of any monsters.
Moreover, the spiritual energy contained in these three barrels of well water is meager, but it is very pure, and does not contain any miscellaneous aura.
Therefore, Meng Zhang judged that there should be no danger at the bottom of these three sweet water wells.
Out of caution, Meng Zhang still used his Dharma Eyes to detect delusions and carefully looked at the bottom of the well from the top.
The water in the well was crystal clear and there was no living thing in it.
There is nothing unusual at the bottom of the unfathomable well.
Meng Zhang randomly chose a sweet water well and jumped into it.
The mouth of Tianshui Well is very wide, more than enough to accommodate Meng Zhang's body.
The sixth level of Qi refining was enough to allow Meng Zhang to hold his breath for a long time.
Meng Zhang's body entered the water and dived directly downward.
However, in just a short while, Meng Zhang's soles touched the ground at the bottom of the well.
The ground at the bottom of the well is hard rock and smooth.
Meng Zhang cast an Earth Escape Talisman, and his entire body penetrated the rock at the bottom of the well.
After walking downward among the rocks for a certain distance, Meng Zhang felt that the resistance increased greatly and it was difficult to continue moving forward.
Thick spiritual energy emerged from the ground, which greatly hindered the use of earth escape techniques.
With Meng Zhang's knowledge, he quickly understood what happened here from his own experience.
